Abstract

A glazing device for a vehicle has an illuminated glazing unit and has a flat outer glass element at least partly forming or continuing the outer body skin and a flat inner glass element. A one-piece or multipart elongated carrier profile component is arranged on an edge section of the inner glass element and holds a lighting device such that the lighting device couples light laterally into the inner glass element. The carrier profile component is attached to the inner glass element and/or the outer glass element, and/or the outer glass element covers the inner glass element or projects laterally beyond the inner glass element in such a way that an edge section of the outer glass element can be attached to a vehicle roof frame and is spaced apart from the edge section of the inner glass element.
